Hem of His Garment
I HAVE NEVER BEEN A GOOD SEAMSTRESS. My mother was the sewing Wiz. She tried to teach me… she tried. I finished a wrap-around skirt. Today I can sew on a button to my husband’s favorite Sunday shirt (at the last minute, right before we walk out to worship, ladies you know how that goes).…
Have You Lost Your Mind?
“Love the Lord…with all your mind” Matthew 27:37 On the door of my colleague’s office is a sign that says, Sit down and wait. I’ve lost my mind and gone to look for it. I suppose most of us have felt like we’ve lost our minds at one time or another. The Bible recognizes many…
God Is Not Gray
“FOREVER O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89 God is not gray. I think this would be a great title to a book. The older I get the more I see that God has addressed it, whatever it may be. I used to hear people say how as they aged they…

Endings Bring Beginnings
Our lives are filled with endings. As mothers, the endings in our children’s lives make us melancholy: weaning is an end to a unique bond, potty training is an end to “baby hood,” the onset of puberty marks the end of the innocence of childhood and high school graduation nominally ends their dependence on us. …

Every Time I See It
Every morning, going to work, I pass a very large cemetery in Atlanta. There on the sloping hill sit hundreds of tombstones, all giving honor to the person who was laid to rest there. I think about all of these people. Who were they, what were their lives like? I know that some were celebrities,…
